  • The cumacean fauna currently contains more than 1200 species worldwide (Wafting, 1997). Many of the habitats where cumaceans are likely to be found, such as estuaries, shallow embayments, beaches, tidal flats, and the inner continental shelf, have not yet had their cumacean fauna documented (Watling, 1997).

  • Coastal areas, especially embayments are apt to be polluted easily and many embayments in Korea are already suffering from pollution problems. To manage such pollution, it is strongly needed to develop technique to trace movements of pollution. Such technique cove- ring the embayment affected by the tidal influence, should take account both of the convection and the diffusion motions which cause lots of problems in numerical calculation. In this study, a Eulerian-Lagrangian Analysis(ELA) model was applied to Young Il bay and tested for its applicablity, which was developed by using the Eulerian-Lagrangian Method that reduce the numerical disperison and oscillation by way of solving convection and diffusion terrns separately. Concentration of Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD) and Suspend Solid(SS) of the embay- ment area were estimated by the model and compared with the observed values and the sound results were obtained. At the same time the diffsion coefficient and decay coefficient for Chemical Oxygen Demand in the Young II Bay were found as Dx = Dy = 20m$^2$/sec, kd=2.5 ${\times}$ 10-5/sec respectively, and for Suspend Solid, Dx =Dy = 30m$^2$/sec, kd=5.0${\times}$ 10-5/sec

  • Beaches in estuaries, bays, and harbors are frequently contaminated with indicators of human pathogens such as fecal indicator bacteria. Tracking down the sources of contamination at these enclosed beaches is complicated by the many point and non-point sources that could potentially degrade water quality along the shore. A mathematical framework was developed to test quantitative relationships between fecal indicator bacteria concentration in ankle depth water at enclosed beaches, the loading rate of fecal indicator bacteria from non-point sources located along the shore, physical characteristics of the beach that affect the transport of fecal indicator bacteria across the beach boundary layer, and a background concentration of fecal indicator bacteria attributable to point sources of fecal pollution that impact water quality over a large region of the embayment. Field measurements of fecal indicator bacteria concentrations and water turbulence at an enclosed beach were generally consistent with predictions and assumptions of the mathematical model, and demonstrated its utility for assessing waste load of non-point sources, such as runoff, bather shedding, bird droppings, and tidal washing of contaminated sediments.

The Demersal Fish of Asan Bay -IV. Temporal Variation in Species Composition from 1990 to 1993- (아산만 저어류 -IV 종조성의 최근 3년간(1990-1993) 변화-)

  • Temporal variation of demersal fish in Asan Bay was determined by analyzing seasonal samples collected by an otter tyawl from November 1990 to August 1993. Of 49 species identified, Cynogiossus joyneri, Thrissa koreans and Johnius belengerii predominated in abundance, consisting of $84.7\%$ in fish numbers and $70.5\%$ in biomass. The number of species did not show any significant seasonal variation. Fish numbers and biomass were comparatively high 3n spring, summer and tall, and low in winter. Community structure, analyzed by principal component analysis using rank correlation, showed a clear seasonal trend, which seems to be related to the seasonal effects such as temperature. The number of species and their abundance in the study area were lower than those in other embayments of Korean peninsula. It seems that unstability of the sediments by tidal mixing caused this phenomenon. The total number of species decreased annually. The species of which the frequency of occurrence tends to diminish as time were mainly composed of the species which rarely occurred with low abundance.
